Start here. One checklist that takes you through the People & HR pack in the right order – what to do, when, who owns it – with a clickable link to every template, a legal and regulatory map and a full document index.

People & HR – Master Checklist and Document Index
About this document
The front sheet for the People & HR pack. It takes an employer through the employee life cycle – recruiting, contracts and onboarding, policies, managing performance and absence, development and pay, and fair exits – and shows which template to use at each stage. Each step names the template to use and links straight to the file, and Part 6 maps the main legal requirements to the templates that help you meet them.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
